Question: Will Valkyria Chronicles be a good addiction to my PS3 database?

More Information: I can't stand FF. I had Final Fantasy XII played 10+ hours and realised it wasn't for me. Strong violence and language are okay. Strategy gameplay will work. I can't stand repetitive gameplay, but if it has a good story then okay.

Games I like to play: Assassin's Creed / Burnout / Little Big Planet /

Go for it. VC is nothing like Final Fantasy and it has a pretty solid story and some really great characters in it. If you're into strategy games and want something fresh, then this is a no-brainer.

unlike most ppl here I am gonna give you an unbiased opinion. If you don't like final fantasy then you probually want like valkyria chronicles. With that said, I am a huge FF fan and I hated FFXII but I liked vc. The story isn't that great. it's decent but not as good as the stories of FF games. Plus the characters try to be so cutesy that it's annoying. ( feels like an adult oriented story but presented for kids IMO) The gameplay is what saved the game for me. IMO it is the only thing good about the game, but it is fun. (although there isn't much strategy involved since most maps can be beat in 2 turns) So If I were you I would download the demo from PSN before you decide. IT only shows gameplay but if you don't like it then you want like the game, if you do then you might like the game.

It's not really a question of whether you should get it or not. It's more a question of why the hell you haven't already gotten it! It's a great game.

VC is something every ps3 should at least try...

And it's not that easy either.. well unless you put in normal mode, but still it's pretty challenging as the game progresses...

VC is nothing like FFXII, so the fact that you don't like FFXII doesn't help answer whetheryou will like VC.

If you like SRPGs you will like VC. SRPGs appeal to people who like slower paced games and who like to think out a strategy before making a move. If that sounds like you, then give it a try.

It's nothing like Assassins creed burnout or LBP, obviously. Still worth picking up though and if you don't like it, you won't have any problems selling it.

I think the music is similar between the two games because I think its done by the same person. But other than that the two are nothing alike. VC is my favorite PS3 game, it never gets repetitive, great challenge, and satisfying death of your characters:twisted:. However, the story could of been a lot better but thankfully there is even an anime that brings out the characters more and back story.

You should totally get it. You'd be doing it so right if you did.

I personally love this game but can see how it would not appeal to everyone. It is a great story with interesting and somewhat unique gameplay.You really have to expereience it yourself to see if it is right for you.

This is like asking if you should go out and phone a doctor for your dying mother. Get the game.

I've had my PS3 for 7months now and I have 6Games and 2Exiled total 8. It's not that I don't like rpg games or am a fan of them. I played many Pokemon games and enjoyed it along with YGO Capsule Monster Coliseum. The level up and ability upgrades are cool.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'll just download the demo first then buy.

Edit: Yep gonna buy it :D
